India’s Involvement in South China Sea dispute has to be seen in the context of ‘Offensive-Defence Strategy’ in foreign policy that is covertly being pursued by New Delhi under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
It serves national interest because India has legitimate security concerns with China is on several areas; be it land boundary disputes, maritime time issues, trade and commerce, strategic perceptions, these Chinese offensive postures has menacingly threatened India’s national interests.
While China has been pursuing such ‘offensive- defensive’ strategy against India for long through its policies like; ‘string of pearls’, one belt one road, developing China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, increasing presence in Indian Ocean region, India so far has been reluctant to counter such challenges.
It is only recently that India has decided to act as a ‘game changer’ and adopted an ‘offensive defensive’ strategy to counter China and by getting involved in the South China Sea dispute.
India though geographically far away from South China Sea and is not a direct party in the dispute, overtly maintains a distance from any involvement in this dispute. Its official the position is; “South China Sea dispute should not be ‘internationalized’ and all the parties concerned should resolve it bilaterally.”
However, it’s economic, maritime and strategic interest demands maintaining freedom of passage for maritime trade through the South China Sea. These factors compel India to get involved in South China Sea dispute.
The recent developments suggest that India’s interest in the South China Sea dispute is consciously growing. This is borne out from the announcement made by the Indian Prime MinisterNarendra Modi at different platforms like ASEAN Summit and his joint statements made with several countries like USA, JapanPhilippines and Vietnam also specifically mentions South China Sea dispute.
Even though India is not a party to the South China Sea dispute it has some reasons to get involved in this conflict. One is to maintain maritime security, second to develop close ties with ASEAN to fulfill its Act East policy and third to counter Chinese postures in the Indian Ocean region.
South China Sea sees a heavy percentage of world trade that passes through Malacca Strait that opens into South China Sea. India’s 55 % of trade passes through Strait of Malacca which opens into South China Sea. If China controls the region, it will upset the global trade practices and countries like India will directly get affected.
Any belligerent action by China can hamper India’s foreign trade passing through that region. If China is successful in controlling the sea lanes of navigation, India would lose international trade route or pay extra to China to keep it restored. Therefore, India has a stake in ensuring freedom of navigation in the region to safeguard its economic interests.
India has legitimate strategic concerns as well, because any military conflict in South China Sea will have ramification on the Indian Ocean region. It may hamper regional security situation and in such case India’s relationship with South East Asian countries may get disrupted. India in best of its interest, may like to have an amicable relationship both with China as well as ASEAN nations. Therefore from strategic point of view it is important for India to get involved in South China Sea dispute.
There are few other factors that compel India to play a major role in South China Sea dispute. One, in wake of weakening American alliance in Asia, US want India to play a role in regional security issues such as South China Sea dispute.
Second, China’s over growing ambitions has chilling effect on India’s security architecture and New Delhi likes to counter China by getting involved in South China Sea dispute.
Third there is global maritime security interest involved in the region and many nations want India to balance the assertive and rising China and like it to get involved in the dispute to maintain peace and security in the region.
Fourth, India’s Act East policy necessitates economic and defense ties with Southeast Asian countries and many of them want India to play a major role in resolving the South China Sea dispute. It appears India is more willing to listen to its ASEAN friends by seeing its growing involvement in the dispute.

No wonder the South China Sea is important to China, says Robert Kaplan. It's the Mediterranean of Asia, the center of international commerce, including energy shipments. Plus, if the Chinese control it and thus gain access to the Indian Ocean, China will have a two-ocean navy, transforming it in military terms from a regional power into a world power.

"양보할 수 없는 핵심 이익" 남중국해가 뭐길래?
An International tribunal made its final decision regarding the dispute between China and the Philippines in the South China Sea.
But Beijing is still vent on claiming the waters for itself.
Why the obsession and what's the strategic value of the area?
Our Kim Jung-soo breaks it down for us.
The South China Sea refers to a three-point-five million square kilometers area in the Pacific Ocean where mainly six nations, which are China, Philippines, Taiwan, Vietnam, Malaysia and Brunei, share and claim territorial rights.
The most recent dispute between China and the Philippines was mediated a day ago by an international tribune in the Hague, which ruled in favor of Manila, but Beijing claims Chinese presence in the sea dates back to the 3rd century BC.
In 2013, the Philippines took China to court demanding its right to exploit the territorial seas that are part of the South China Sea, but Beijing refused to participate, and responded by increasing the number of military drills in the disputed area.
In 2014, China further alarmed its neighbors by enlarging artificial reefs on the Spratly Islands, and therefore attempted to create "exclusive economic zones," which allow countries uncontested sovereignty of territorial seas within 200-miles from the coastline.
But the reluctance to compromise on where each nation's territorial seas start or end is primarily motivated by a number of economic factors.
According to the Council on Foreign Relations, about half of international maritime trade routes pass through the South China Sea,
amounting to an annual 5.3 trillion U.S. dollars worth of commerce, while more than 60 percent of oil-tankers transit through the area.
23 billion tons, or 13 percent of the planet's crude oil, are estimated to be buried deep under the sea as well, along with more than 5 trillion cubic meters of natural gas.
In other words, the South China Sea represents a vast fortune in resources, and regional power for the nation that claims the sea for itself.
With China refusing to accept the ruling announced on Tuesday, experts say that neighboring countries must closely monitor Beijing's reaction in the months to come. In particular, experts advise that new Philippines PresidentRodrigo Duterte must strive to avoid direct confrontation with China and foster a flexible economic relationship.

In an alarming speech from Australia, China premier Li Keqiang denied his nation is militarizing the disputes waters in the South China Sea, while calling China to armed its reclaimed reefs with military asset to defend its trade interests in the region.
He said that “China’s facilities on Chinese islands and reefs are primarily for civilian purposes, even if there is a certain amount of defense equipment or facilities, it is for maintaining freedom of navigation and overflight.”
He added that “It is the responsibility of all countries in this region to work together and to maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea and uphold freedom of navigation and overflight,”
Li is on a five-day visit to Australia. He told lawmakers and business leaders on Thursday that Australia doesn’t need to take sides between China, its largest trading partner, and main strategic ally the U.S.

Australian Prime MinisterMalcolm Turnbull said: “We have a $150 billion two-way trade relationship, making China our largest trading partner by a wide margin, and almost two million people travel between our countries each year.

China's first vessel capable of conducting rescue in deep, open water was delivered and put into service on Wednesday in the South China Sea.
The ship, Nanhaijiu 102, is the most advanced rescue vessel in the area and will play a role in emergencies, said the Ministry of Transport.
An all-weather, high-powered rescue ship designed and built by China, is 127 meters long and 16 meters wide, with displacement of 7,300 tons and a range of 16,000 nautical miles.
"The typhoon season is coming. The South China Sea frequently has typhoons. But our ship has a large hull with a powerful impetus, and we have advanced equipment. So we have the capability to conduct rescue operations under hurricane and high sea conditions," said Lin Zhou, captain of the Nanhaijiu 102.
Carrying a towing system and autonomous underwater vehicle that can dive as deep as 6,000 meters, the ship is the country's first rescue ship that can conduct air, sea and underwater searches at the same time.
The ministry said Nanhaijiu 102 is designed for bad sea conditions including 12th grade waves and is suitable for the refueling and landing of helicopters.
"Our whole deep-sea towing system is to have the exact underwater location and image of the towed bodies like sunken ships wreckage in seabed or the target objects like the crashed aircraft wreckage through imaging scanning and mapping by principles of acoustics," said Liu Xiaoyu, assistant engineer of planning, construction and technology department of the South China Sea RescueBureau.
China has 74 special rescue ships, among which 31 are in southern sea areas. In addition, the country has 20 rescue helicopters, according to the ministry.

China Seas

The China Seas consist of a series of marginal seas in the Western Pacific Ocean, around China. They are the major components signifying the transition from the continent of Asia to the Pacific Ocean. They have been described in terms of their collective vastness and complexity:

South China Sea

The South China Sea is a marginal sea that is part of the Pacific Ocean, encompassing an area from the Singapore and Malacca Straits to the Strait of Taiwan of around 3,500,000 square kilometres (1,400,000sqmi). The area's importance largely results from one-third of the world's shipping sailing through its waters and that it is believed to hold huge oil and gas reserves beneath its seabed.

The minute South China Sea Islands, collectively an archipelago, number in the hundreds. The sea and its mostly uninhabited islands are subject to competing claims of sovereignty by several countries. These claims are also reflected in the variety of names used for the islands and the sea.

Names

South China Sea is the dominant term used in English for the sea, and the name in most European languages is equivalent, but it is sometimes called by different names in China's neighboring countries, often reflecting historical claims to hegemony over the sea.

There are disputes concerning both the Spratly and the Paracel islands, as well as maritime boundaries in the Gulf of Tonkin and elsewhere. There is a further dispute in the waters near the Indonesian Natuna Islands. The interests of different nations include acquiring fishing areas around the two archipelagos; the potential exploitation of suspected crude oil and natural gas under the waters of various parts of the South China Sea; and the strategic control of important shipping lanes.

China’s most advanced rescue ship put into use in South China Sea

China's first vessel capable of conducting rescue in deep, open water was delivered and put into service on Wednesday in the South China Sea.
The ship, Nanhaijiu 102, is the most advanced rescue vessel in the area and will play a role in emergencies, said the Ministry of Transport.
An all-weather, high-powered rescue ship designed and built by China, is 127 meters long and 16 meters wide, with displacement of 7,300 tons and a range of 16,000 nautical miles.
"The typhoon season is coming. The South China Sea frequently has typhoons. But our ship has a large hull with a powerful impetus, and we have advanced equipment. So we have the capability to conduct rescue operations under hurricane and high sea conditions," said Lin Zhou, captain of the Nanhaijiu 102.

India’s Involvement in South China Sea dispute has to be seen in the context of ‘Offensive-Defence Strategy’ in foreign policy that is covertly being pursued by New Delhi under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
It serves national interest because India has legitimate security concerns with China is on several areas; be it land boundary disputes, maritime time issues, trade and commerce, strategic perceptions, these Chinese offensive postures has menacingly threatened India’s national interests.
While China has been pursuing such ‘offensive- defensive’ strategy against India for long through its policies like; ‘string of pearls’, one belt one road, developing China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, increasing presence in Indian Ocean region, India so far has been reluctant to counter such challenges.
It is only recently that India has decided to act as a ‘game changer’ and adopted an ‘offensive defensive’ strategy to counter China and by getting involved in the South China Sea dispute.
India though geographically far away from South China Sea and is not a direct party in the dispute, overtly maintains a distance from any involvement in this dispute. Its official the position is; “South China Sea dispute should not be ‘internationalized’ and all the parties concerned should resolve it bilaterally.”
However, it’s economic, maritime and strategic interest demands maintaining freedom of passage for maritime trade through the South China Sea. These factors compel India to get involved in South China Sea dispute.
The recent developments suggest that India’s interest in the South China Sea dispute is consciously growing. This is borne out from the announcement made by the Indian Prime MinisterNarendra Modi at different platforms like ASEAN Summit and his joint statements made with several countries like USA, JapanPhilippines and Vietnam also specifically mentions South China Sea dispute.
Even though India is not a party to the South China Sea dispute it has some reasons to get involved in this conflict. One is to maintain maritime security, second to develop close ties with ASEAN to fulfill its Act East policy and third to counter Chinese postures in the Indian Ocean region.
South China Sea sees a heavy percentage of world trade that passes through Malacca Strait that opens into South China Sea. India’s 55 % of trade passes through Strait of Malacca which opens into South China Sea. If China controls the region, it will upset the global trade practices and countries like India will directly get affected.
Any belligerent action by China can hamper India’s foreign trade passing through that region. If China is successful in controlling the sea lanes of navigation, India would lose international trade route or pay extra to China to keep it restored. Therefore, India has a stake in ensuring freedom of navigation in the region to safeguard its economic interests.
India has legitimate strategic concerns as well, because any military conflict in South China Sea will have ramification on the Indian Ocean region. It may hamper regional security situation and in such case India’s relationship with South East Asian countries may get disrupted. India in best of its interest, may like to have an amicable relationship both with China as well as ASEAN nations. Therefore from strategic point of view it is important for India to get involved in South China Sea dispute.
There are few other factors that compel India to play a major role in South China Sea dispute. One, in wake of weakening American alliance in Asia, US want India to play a role in regional security issues such as South China Sea dispute.
Second, China’s over growing ambitions has chilling effect on India’s security architecture and New Delhi likes to counter China by getting involved in South China Sea dispute.
Third there is global maritime security interest involved in the region and many nations want India to balance the assertive and rising China and like it to get involved in the dispute to maintain peace and security in the region.
Fourth, India’s Act East policy necessitates economic and defense ties with Southeast Asian countries and many of them want India to play a major role in resolving the South China Sea dispute. It appears India is more willing to listen to its ASEAN friends by seeing its growing involvement in the dispute.

Global Ethics Forum: Asia's Cauldron: The South China Sea and the End of a Stable Pacific

No wonder the South China Sea is important to China, says Robert Kaplan. It's the Mediterranean of Asia, the center of international commerce, including energy shipments. Plus, if the Chinese control it and thus gain access to the Indian Ocean, China will have a two-ocean navy, transforming it in military terms from a regional power into a world power.

"양보할 수 없는 핵심 이익" 남중국해가 뭐길래?
An International tribunal made its final decision regarding the dispute between China and the Philippines in the South China Sea.
But Beijing is still vent on claiming the waters for itself.
Why the obsession and what's the strategic value of the area?
Our Kim Jung-soo breaks it down for us.
The South China Sea refers to a three-point-five million square kilometers area in the Pacific Ocean where mainly six nations, which are China, Philippines, Taiwan, Vietnam, Malaysia and Brunei, share and claim territorial rights.
The most recent dispute between China and the Philippines was mediated a day ago by an international tribune in the Hague, which ruled in favor of Manila, but Beijing claims Chinese presence in the sea dates back to the 3rd century BC.
In 2013, the Philippines took China to court demanding its right to exploit the territorial seas that are part of the South China Sea, but Beijing refused to participate, and responded by increasing the number of military drills in the disputed area.
In 2014, China further alarmed its neighbors by enlarging artificial reefs on the Spratly Islands, and therefore attempted to create "exclusive economic zones," which allow countries uncontested sovereignty of territorial seas within 200-miles from the coastline.
But the reluctance to compromise on where each nation's territorial seas start or end is primarily motivated by a number of economic factors.
According to the Council on Foreign Relations, about half of international maritime trade routes pass through the South China Sea,
amounting to an annual 5.3 trillion U.S. dollars worth of commerce, while more than 60 percent of oil-tankers transit through the area.
23 billion tons, or 13 percent of the planet's crude oil, are estimated to be buried deep under the sea as well, along with more than 5 trillion cubic meters of natural gas.
In other words, the South China Sea represents a vast fortune in resources, and regional power for the nation that claims the sea for itself.
With China refusing to accept the ruling announced on Tuesday, experts say that neighboring countries must closely monitor Beijing's reaction in the months to come. In particular, experts advise that new Philippines PresidentRodrigo Duterte must strive to avoid direct confrontation with China and foster a flexible economic relationship.

An all-weather, high-powered rescue ship designed and built by China, is 127 meters long and 16 meters wide, with displacement of 7,300 tons and a range of 16,000 nautical miles.
"The typhoon season is coming. The South China Sea frequently has typhoons. But our ship has a large hull with a powerful impetus, and we have advanced equipment. So we have the capability to conduct rescue operations under hurricane and high sea conditions," said Lin Zhou, captain of the Nanhaijiu 102.
Carrying a towing system and autonomous underwater vehicle that can dive as deep as 6,000 meters, the ship is the country's first rescue ship that can conduct air, sea and underwater searches at the same time.
The ministry said Nanhaijiu 102 is designed for bad sea conditions including 12th grade waves and is suitable for the refueling and landing of helicopters.
"Our whole deep-sea towing system is to have the exact underwater location and image of the towed bodies like sunken ships wreckage in seabed or the target objects like the crashed aircraft wreckage through imaging scanning and mapping by principles of acoustics," said Liu Xiaoyu, assistant engineer of planning, construction and technology department of the South China Sea RescueBureau.
China has 74 special rescue ships, among which 31 are in southern sea areas. In addition, the country has 20 rescue helicopters, according to the ministry.

Its official the position is; “South China Sea dispute should not be ‘internationalized’ and all the parties concerned should resolve it bilaterally.”
However, it’s economic, maritime and strategic interest demands maintaining freedom of passage for maritime trade through the South China Sea. These factors compel India to get involved in South China Sea dispute.
The recent developments suggest that India’s interest in the South China Sea dispute is consciously growing. This is borne out from the announcement made by the Indian Prime MinisterNarendra Modi at different platforms like ASEAN Summit and his joint statements made with several countries like USA, JapanPhilippines and Vietnam also specifically mentions South China Sea dispute.
Even though India is not a party to the South China Sea dispute it has some reasons to get involved in this conflict. One is to maintain maritime security, second to develop close ties with ASEAN to fulfill its Act East policy and third to counter Chinese postures in the Indian Ocean region.
South China Sea sees a heavy percentage of world trade that passes through Malacca Strait that opens into South China Sea. India’s 55 % of trade passes through Strait of Malacca which opens into South China Sea. If China controls the region, it will upset the global trade practices and countries like India will directly get affected.
Any belligerent action by China can hamper India’s foreign trade passing through that region. If China is successful in controlling the sea lanes of navigation, India would lose international trade route or pay extra to China to keep it restored. Therefore, India has a stake in ensuring freedom of navigation in the region to safeguard its economic interests.
India has legitimate strategic concerns as well, because any military conflict in South China Sea will have ramification on the Indian Ocean region. It may hamper regional security situation and in such case India’s relationship with South East Asian countries may get disrupted. India in best of its interest, may like to have an amicable relationship both with China as well as ASEAN nations. Therefore from strategic point of view it is important for India to get involved in South China Sea dispute.
There are few other factors that compel India to play a major role in South China Sea dispute. One, in wake of weakening American alliance in Asia, US want India to play a role in regional security issues such as South China Sea dispute.
Second, China’s over growing ambitions has chilling effect on India’s security architecture and New Delhi likes to counter China by getting involved in South China Sea dispute.
Third there is global maritime security interest involved in the region and many nations want India to balance the assertive and rising China and like it to get involved in the dispute to maintain peace and security in the region.
Fourth, India’s Act East policy necessitates economic and defense ties with Southeast Asian countries and many of them want India to play a major role in resolving the South China Sea dispute. It appears India is more willing to listen to its ASEAN friends by seeing its growing involvement in the dispute.

India’s Involvement in South China Sea dispute has to be seen in the context of ‘Offensive-Defence Strategy’ in foreign policy that is covertly being pursued by New Delhi under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
It serves national interest because India has legitimate security concerns with China is on several areas; be it land boundary disputes, maritime time issues, trade and commerce, strategic perceptions, these Chinese offensive postures has menacingly threatened India’s national interests.
While China has been pursuing such ‘offensive- defensive’ strategy against India for long through its policies like; ‘string of pearls’, one belt one road, developing China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, increasing presence in Indian Ocean region, India so far has been reluctant to counter such challenges.

Global Ethics Forum: Asia's Cauldron: The South China Sea and the End of a Stable Pacific

No wonder the South China Sea is important to China, says Robert Kaplan. It's the Mediterranean of Asia, the center of international commerce, including energy shipments. Plus, if the Chinese control it and thus gain access to the Indian Ocean, China will have a two-ocean navy, transforming it in military terms from a regional power into a world power.

"양보할 수 없는 핵심 이익" 남중국해가 뭐길래?
An International tribunal made its final decision regarding the dispute between China and the Philippines in the South China Sea.
But Beijing is still vent on claiming the waters for itself.
Why the obsession and what's the strategic value of the area?
Our Kim Jung-soo breaks it down for us.
The South China Sea refers to a three-point-five million square kilometers area in the Pacific Ocean where mainly six nations, which are China, Philippines, Taiwan, Vietnam, Malaysia and Brunei, share and claim territorial rights.
The most recent dispute between China and the Philippines was mediated a day ago by an international tribune in the Hague, which ruled in favor of Manila, but Beijing claims Chinese presence in the sea dates back to the 3rd century BC.
In 2013, the Philippines took China to court demanding its right to exploit the territorial seas that are part of the South China Sea, but Beijing refused to participate, and responded by increasing the number of military drills in the disputed area.
In 2014, China further alarmed its neighbors by enlarging artificial reefs on the Spratly Islands, and therefore attempted to create "exclusive economic zones," which allow countries uncontested sovereignty of territorial seas within 200-miles from the coastline.
But the reluctance to compromise on where each nation's territorial seas start or end is primarily motivated by a number of economic factors.
According to the Council on Foreign Relations, about half of international maritime trade routes pass through the South China Sea,
amounting to an annual 5.3 trillion U.S. dollars worth of commerce, while more than 60 percent of oil-tankers transit through the area.
23 billion tons, or 13 percent of the planet's crude oil, are estimated to be buried deep under the sea as well, along with more than 5 trillion cubic meters of natural gas.
In other words, the South China Sea represents a vast fortune in resources, and regional power for the nation that claims the sea for itself.
With China refusing to accept the ruling announced on Tuesday, experts say that neighboring countries must closely monitor Beijing's reaction in the months to come. In particular, experts advise that new Philippines PresidentRodrigo Duterte must strive to avoid direct confrontation with China and foster a flexible economic relationship.

China's first vessel capable of conducting rescue in deep, open water was delivered and put into service on Wednesday in the South China Sea.
The ship, Nanhaijiu 102, is the most advanced rescue vessel in the area and will play a role in emergencies, said the Ministry of Transport.
An all-weather, high-powered rescue ship designed and built by China, is 127 meters long and 16 meters wide, with displacement of 7,300 tons and a range of 16,000 nautical miles.
"The typhoon season is coming. The South China Sea frequently has typhoons. But our ship has a large hull with a powerful impetus, and we have advanced equipment. So we have the capability to conduct rescue operations under hurricane and high sea conditions," said Lin Zhou, captain of the Nanhaijiu 102.
Carrying a towing system and autonomous underwater vehicle that can dive as deep as 6,000 meters, the ship is the country's first rescue ship that can conduct air, sea and underwater searches at the same time.
The ministry said Nanhaijiu 102 is designed for bad sea conditions including 12th grade waves and is suitable for the refueling and landing of helicopters.
"Our whole deep-sea towing system is to have the exact underwater location and image of the towed bodies like sunken ships wreckage in seabed or the target objects like the crashed aircraft wreckage through imaging scanning and mapping by principles of acoustics," said Liu Xiaoyu, assistant engineer of planning, construction and technology department of the South China Sea RescueBureau.
China has 74 special rescue ships, among which 31 are in southern sea areas. In addition, the country has 20 rescue helicopters, according to the ministry.
